Introduction Package
If you are using TYPO3 for the first time you may want to see a working example of the CMS before you start work on your own project.
The Official Introduction Package typo3/cms-introduction showcases many of TYPO3's capabilities and gives you the ability to try them first hand. The Introduction Package utilizes the extension bk2k/bootstrap-package to generate multiple responsive HTML templates that you can select and try out.
It also features examples of the different kinds page content that you typically see on a website, such as paragraphs of text, images, tables and navigation menus.
Installing the Introduction Package
To install the Introduction Package run the following command:
composer require typo3/cms-introduction
composer require typo3/cms-introduction
ddev composer require typo3/cms-introduction
Then run:
vendor/bin/typo3 extension:setup

This will set up the extension ready for immediate use.
